One of the principles laid down by the Reform Party wis, that no money should be expended without the consent or vote of Parliament. When I charged Mr. Peter Sinclair that his Premier had expended money in the purchase of steel rails without the vote of Parliament, he stated that the House of Commons had voted the money to buy the rails. This shows that the Reformers are strangers to candor and to truth, Mr, McKenzie bought the rails and signed the con- tract before the matter was mentioned in Parliament. Alex. McKenzie had not free and

Grits settled that it should be a one-sided arrangement ; and Mr. Louis H. Davies in- sisted that the one-sided arrangement should be adhered to, though it would have been the best of policy on his part to have allowed Mr. Brecken to speak for five imin- utes, or even half an hour; thongh every- thing would have gone on smoothly if Mr. Brecken had spoken for five minutes or half an hour, Mr. L. H. Davies was afraid to allow him, and the electors who wanted to hear him, even that scant courtesy, and there was a long intermission and much wrangling, for which Mr. L. H. Davies and his friends must stand accountable.

The simple undeniable facts connected with the meeting are these: The Govern, ment have imposed upon the country the necessity of carrying on an election canvass during the busiest season of the year. Sud- denly it was announced that the two ablest members of the Government would visit the Island ,—stealing a march upon their oppon- ents. Efforts were made to get Dr. Tupper er Mr. Tilley here to meet them. No one thought of a ‘‘one-sided arrangement.” But neither Tupper nor Tilley could come over here at such short notice. Then an effort was made to make an arrangement under which both parties could enter into a free and fair discussion. The Conservatives felt strongly that it would be unfair to ask the people of the country to lose another harvest day for the purpose of coming to town to hear Tupper and Tilley. So

the Organized Hypocrisy, and that Pope and Brecken were unable to put in an ap- pearance. The little trick was foiled. Pope and Brecken confronted the Premier and the ‘Mixer and Muddler of Figures,” and these great men showed the white feather in a manner which excited the contempt of even their own friends.

A Cowardly Back-down.

Mr. L. H. Davies waxed valiant in the Drill Shed yesterday, and challenged a division of the electors. ‘The Conservatives accepted the challenge, and the following resolution was proposed by James Currie, Esq., and seconded by Donald Ferguson, Esq. : -

Resolved, That the electors present at this meeting have every contidence in the National Policy of the Liberal-Conservative Party of the Dominion of Canada, as the best means whereby to obtain Free Trade with the L nited States, and that they will use their most strenuous Cxertions to return Members to the House of Commons to carry, out_and support that policy.

On hearing the resolution read, the Chair- man refused to put it to the meeting. We have reason to believe that Mr. Dodd’s own sense of justice would have induced him to submit the resolution, which was in every way a proper one, to the electors ; but Mr. Davies, knowing well that the resolution would be carried by an overwhelming ma- jority, interfered, and used all means in his power to prevent a division, which only a few moments before he hypocritically pro-

fessed to court !

not manifest at the meeting im Shed. The Premier, or any of his sup- porters, would have an opportunity to ad- dress those’ present. As Mr. McKenzie and Cartwright had not yet appeared at this meeting, he would call upon Mr. Drecken.

Mr. Brecken said that to day he had wit- nessed a piece of Grit tyranny which he had never supposed would be practised upon the freedmen of his Island home. We were treated with a shower-bath of figures from the Finance Minister. That,gentlemen, had oceupied two hours in the delivery of his speech, in. which he had made charges against Sir John McDonald and his party; and yet when a simple request had been made by myself to speak only five minutes, that right was denied. We have always en- joyed the privilege of meeting our oppon- ents face to face, and of discussing the great questions which agitate the people. To-day the electors have been told that henceforth they shall be compelled to hear speeches upon only one side of a question, or not to listen at all. Electors, long before Mr. McKenzie was born, the people of this Col- ony heatd the questions which affected their interests diseussed pro and con., and when he shall go to his little home and his dust shall mingle with its kindred dust, the in- habitants will demand the right to hear the men whom they desire. The electors will remember that the Liberal-Conseryative candidates have stood up to-day and fought for a principle of fair play. The people— electors from Malpeque to Wood Islands— were earnest and determined in their de- mands to permit their own men to be heard when the Premier and Finance Minister have come to this constituency for the pur- pose of defeating Pope and myself. We want no greater evidence of the weakness and desperation of the so-called Reformers

quent defence of Highlanders and their noble qualities.

Tne report of Messrs. Pope, Haviland, Fer- guson and Harris speeches will appear in to- morrow’s paper.
